Akal conducted its annual Diwali celebration on the evening of 21st October 2022. This felicitous event was witnessed by all AKAL employees and staff. With good food and amazing friends, it was yet another memorable occasion.

Marvelling at the exquisitely designed rangolis on each floor and the flickering diyas adorning our office floors, stairs and window panes did wonders to feed our festive souls. The care and attention to detail that the staff and employees put into making the rooms come to life was commendable, to say the least. It’s at times like these that we are reminded of how much of a well-oiled machine our teamwork continues to be, and for that, we consider ourselves quite blessed.

Today (the 03rd of October 2021), we at AKAL, had the most splendid time celebrating the Festival of Lights, Diwali. This occasion is especially dear to us because it’s the first time after the pandemic that we all were able to come together as Akal family and participate in this joyous occasion.

Donning colourful ethnic attires with matching face masks, each member of every department was truly a sight for sore eyes especially after a year and a half of being in quarantine mode. We were all ecstatic to be able to dress to our finest and we believe we delivered.

We, at AKAL, had one of the most interactive and fun-filled icebreaker sessions as we welcomed the new members to our AKAL family. As a part of regular employee engagement activities, the session, held on 20th October this time was joined by members of different teams from different departments of the organization.

The aim of this engagement activity is (and always has been) to make the new joiners feel comfortable with each other so that they open, get accustomed to the new work environment, get motivated towards their job responsibilities, and imbibe a sense of one whole unit as Akal family.

The session commenced with everyone introducing themselves and describing their fellow teammates, who were all present in the session, in the funniest way possible. This resulted in a lot of laughter, as everyone mingled and engaged in conversations with each other.

One of our very own HR, Harleen Kaur, then hosted a quiz on Akal Info. It proved to be a very interactive way to inform everyone from different departments about how the company and employees operate here. The idea was to familiarize everyone with the work culture of the organization.

Interactive Quiz was followed by a team-building game where one member had to write a word (which could be from any category – place, animal, thing, fruit) on another member’s back using a pen, which he/she would then have to guess and write on the board.

The session was also joined by one of the senior members, Mr. Aditya Chibber, Corporate Head, who gave the newbies an insight into Akal’s mission and vision, he shared his own experience at Akal and encouraged everyone to work as a team towards the common goal of the organization.

Overall, it was a very productive session, especially as it helped introverts in the room to break out of their shells and become enthusiastic participants.

We, at AKAL, believe in the importance of making the workplace an employee-friendly environment. We want all our employees to feel at home and treat the company as their own.

To all the new joiners, we welcome you and hope that you have the most wonderful and mutually rewarding stay with us and that too, for a long time.

AKAL’s Recruitment Team has just concluded its Campus Recruitment Drive for the year 2021, it was held from 20th July to 12th August 2021 and was a massive success.

Following the protocol for COVID-19, the drive was held virtually this time and was joined by over 400 students from 10 different institutes of Delhi/NCR. Participating candidates, who fought tooth and nail to fill in the vacant positions of Junior Software Developers and Junior HR Recruiters, engaged themselves with keen interest and enthusiasm. Even though it was a tough competition, selected candidates were able to clear the three stages of the selection process, which comprised of:

• Online Test: To evaluate the IQ level of the candidates.
• Domain Interview: To check the understanding of respective domains/fields.
• Final HR Round: To know about personality, strengths & weaknesses of shortlisted candidates and ensuring right fit for the job vacancies.

“I think the competition was really tough because we all desperately wanted to be selected for the job profile offered. I am so happy and fortunate to have been selected for a Junior Software Developer position, that too with a prestigious organization like Akal Info. I was quite worried about my career path because finding employment is difficult, especially after the coronavirus outbreak. I can’t thank AKAL enough for hosting this life-changing campus recruitment drive for us. I start this new chapter of my career,” commented Ms Akriti Valvi, a participant and one of the selected candidates.

At AKAL, we believe in encouraging young talent and giving them the best career building opportunities and in order to do so, we ensure that Campus Recruitment Drives are a significant part of our overall recruitment activities.

Taking into consideration the massive shift in the job market caused by the pandemic, we do believe that our Campus Recruitment Drives will help many jobseekers find employment and motivate newly graduated students. We believe that our recruitment drives will give hope to students whose aspirations and optimisms are dimmed during these challenging times.

We thank all the students who participated in the drive with great enthusiasm. We would also like to thank all the placement coordinators of respective institutes for their efforts to ensure this drive is a success.

To all the selected candidates, welcome aboard! We hope you have a rewarding stay and successful career with us here at AKAL.

The AKAL family had the most wonderful Independence Day celebration to keep the spirit of our Nation Heros alive.

We had a memorable day, spreading laughter and happiness at the office.

Wearing ethnic attires, each department cabin was adorned with tri-color decors, stunningly decorated by the team members. With a fun photo session and flavorsome evening snacks, it was a day well-spent.

Let us remember the trials and tribulations that our brave freedom fighters had to go through for us to have this freedom that we continue to enjoy and cherish each day.

We hope this 75th Independence Day gives you good health and prosperity during these trying times.

We, at Akal, are truly proud to announce the inauguration of our new office space, today on 2nd April, 2021. The inauguration ceremony was attended by members of the AKAL family as well as our near and dear ones. Inaugurated by the ‘father figure of the AKAL family’ Mr Ajit Singh, the marking of this new milestone commenced with an Ardaas Puja, followed by some light refreshments. This was done with utmost care, following the social distancing and other COVID-19 protocols.

We, at AKAL, are truly proud of this momentous milestone and glad that we get to share it with you. Staying true to following our vision – To enhance Human Capital value by providing technology support and services that meet or exceed our customer expectations – we have made great progress in every step we take and hope to continue to do so.

The steady growth and progress that AKAL continues to experience have prompted for a new office space. Today, as we enter yet another worthwhile chapter in our lives, we want to thank God and everyone who continues to pave the way for AKAL to thrive.

On 26th of March, 2020, we, at AKAL, had a wonderful time celebrating the festival of Holi at our office. Practicing the protocol of social distancing and other preventive measures for COVID-19, we celebrated the festival of colours by putting our colored hand prints on chart papers as well as on each other, which was then followed by the traditional putting of holi tikka on the foreheads of each other.

The Festival of Colours “Holi” has always been one of our favourite festivities here at AKAL. We always try to do something special each year. This time understanding the importance of strict COVID-19 measures, we thought we’d do something low-key yet memorable. Hence, came the idea of putting our handprints on paper charts and on each other while strictly following the safety protocols.

The purpose of putting handprints on walls was to let every employee leave his/ her mark and celebrate his/ her being part of the Akal family and the amazing experience.

We are glad that even amidst the dark clouds of the coronavirus pandemic, we were able to come together and celebrate Holi in the safest way possible.

We urge you all to stay safe this Holi and follow all the precautionary measures as you celebrate this joyous occasion with your loved ones.

We, at Akal, hope that this Holi brings not only colours to your life, but also good health & prosperity to you and your loved ones during these trying times.
